A stubborn fire in Grimes County is bringing in additional firefighting equipment from Montgomery County. Magnolia Fire Department is responding to County Road 306 which is near the community of Stoneham and which is some of the land burned two years ago in the destructive Dyer Mill Fire. Each time firefighters get close to getting it under control it erupts again. There are no evacuations and firefighters are keeping it on the south side of CR 306.
MCPR was created in 2008 after Jamie left a newspaper that conflicted with her ethics. Initially, it was blog style website where Jamie wrote stories and posted them with photos. Scott provided video, and as the blog grew in popularity, businesses began to inquire about advertising. The blog soon transitioned to a news website, and then to a print newspaper, which was sold in over 100 stores, and through subscription for several years.
Scott Engle and Jamie Nash are Montgomery County residents and veteran law enforcement / breaking news reporters, who met covering a law enforcement story and have covered multiple counties, with Scott as a television videographer for multiple local stations and national networks, and Jamie as newspaper / magazine / online reporter.
